Police are looking for a vehicle and driver they said hit a man who had been ejected from a truck that had overturned on I-97.

The man who was a passenger was killed instantly as he stood in the southbound lane near Route 32 and Benfield Boulevard.

The driver of the northbound truck that had just hit a guardrail in the median and rolled also was thrown from that vehicle.

He survived and was rushed to Shock Trauma.

State Police do not have description of the striking vehicle and anyone who might be able to furnish possible leads is urged to contact Maryland State Police at the Glen Burnie Barracks.

Greg Shipley of MSP told WBAL News that the driver of the striking vehicle must have known the man was badly hurt because the body smashed the windshield and was carried "some distance" before it slid off.

Investigators believe the driver "deliberately left the scene" of the fatal accident.

It happened a little past 3 a.m.

A man was killed in a pedestrian accident on Route 50 in Anne Arundel County on Sunday evening.
